I use these for stocking stuffers, car trip snacks, and emergency bribes. Keep in mind that no matter where you buy astronaut ice cream, it will come not in a nice solid block, but pre-broken into little random bite-sized bits, and there will be powdery crumbs that your kids will spill somehow. This is the nature of the beast. It tastes exactly like Neapolitan ice cream, because that's what it is, only with all the moisture removed (be sure to have water on hand, or your dehydrated children will make you suffer). It is a weird, sweet, dry, creamy treat with an apocalypse-ready shelf life. What's not to love?

I have purchased the mountain house brand of neapolitan ice cream many many times. Its a fantastic product, but then the price shot up and the astronaut brand was cheaper. (To put this into perspective, I have bought over 100 pouches of freeze dried ice cream products, so price and quality are very important).

So after the examination and taste test here is the verdict. The size/weight/quality of this brand seems to be on par with mountain house. But the flavor and texture is slightly better.

These are very close contenders. So which one will I buy next? That depends on the price. I would pay a little more for this brand, but not a lot more.

This is the classic space ice cream and it's good. It comes in a double-sealed set of pouches. First is a thick foil sealed pouch and inside is a paper-sealed package of a block of the dehydrated ice cream. It's a special treat and my kids liked the novelty of it - and it does taste like ice cream. The package that I had, though, had a defect. The inner paper pouch had been partially sliced open. It looked like it had been sliced open when they were unboxing them to put in the foil pouches? The outer foil pouch itself was still sealed.

It tastes like neoplotin ice cream (chocolate, vanilla, strawberry) just not cold.It is freeze dried so there is no mess, just break it onto small pieces and enjoy. It devolves in your mouth and eventually tastes like melted ice cream.

Sent a case to my nephew as a "get well" present when he had his tonsils removed. They said he loved em! I've also taken a few of these camping. 99% of the time they are broken, either due to shipping or being lugged around in my backpack...Doesn't really matter though, you eat it like chips, not a candy bar anyway. Great treat when camping. Also nice to store for emergencies.
